Elementary School Students Need Math Tools to Develop Math Skills

Help me give my students 30 sets of x-Y Axis dry erase mats, 30 sets of compass & protractor, and 1 set of educational math posters

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Cheng's classroom raised $482

This project is fully funded

My Students

Our school has about 240 students who study from 3K to fifth grade. Most of them are African American and Hispanic children. Most of them come from low-income families.

They are nice and respectful when they interact with other people.

They smile at people when they meet people in the morning. Some of them are struggling in math and English, but they work very hard to overcome the challenges. It is my pleasure to be their teacher in the school this year.

My Project

All students will come to school to continue their learning. My students will learn circles, angles, and x-y coordinate. I want them to have hands-on learning experiences. They need 30 sets of compass and protractors to draw circles and measure angles. They need 30 sets of grid mats to learn the x-y coordinate system. In addition, they will use protractors to draw equilateral, isosceles, and scalene triangles. They will learn interior and exterior angles. They will draw linear equations on the x-y axis mats. Please help my students to get the math tools to continue their math learning.
